During the pandemic, Sea Cadet activities were severely curtailed. Sadly, we were not able to give a proper farewell to our graduates, and many of the summer training opportunities beloved by our Cadets were unavailable. All of the news was not bad, however. Our Cadets were able to stay in touch via virtual drills, and had the opportunity to complete various online trainings that would satisfy advancement requirements. A previous entry told how we were able to get eight Sea Cadets through RT this summer as well, which was a major achievement for the Cadets and the unit.
In October, we are going to attempt to resume in-person drills, scheduled for October 17-18. There are many details to work out and our adult leadership is planning for us to be together again somewhere in the San Antonio area. We also hope to welcome a few new, prospective Cadets.
If you are interested in visiting the Alamo Battalion to see whether you would like to join, or have friends who are interested, please have them mail the PAO at alamobnpao@gmail.com to let us know who is coming. The PAO will share scheduling information with families and prospective members as we get closer to our planned October 17 visiting date.
